Virtual Reality and 360° Video

Features and Trends

 

VR has the potential to disrupt the entire media industry providing immersive and interactive experiences that are not possible with more traditional formats. VR devices are becoming very popular and it is expected that they will have significant user penetration soon. However, VR is still in its early stages and the current generation of technologies has several limitations.

A new generation of VR devices, aimed at enabling a truly virtual reality experience, is emerging. Significant advances are being made in the quality of cameras and displays for having higher resolution, frame rate, pixel density, and Field of View (FoV).

 

“16K and 240 fps are needed for true VR”. Raja Koduri, head of GPU at AMD.

 

“8K per eye is the ideal resolution for full immersive virtual reality”. Palmer Lucky, co-founder of Oculus Rift.
